Crabby Blues Festival

The Crabby Blues Festival is a beloved one-day community event blending seafood, blues music, and family fun—all for a great cause. Hosted each September in Cape Charles Central Park, it’s the largest annual fundraiser for Cape Charles Christian School. Expect freshly steamed crabs and clams, a variety of food vendors (think seafood, Mexican cuisine, Italian ice), local blues musicians, bounce houses, a petting zoo, face painting, arts & crafts, and a lively silent auction. Admission is free, making it a generous celebration of local culture, flavor, and community spirit.
